RE: nscd: Was Re: long delays with LDAP nss/pam
I've will agree with this whole heartedly.
I've moved to using local dnscaches on most my smtp servers, and webservers
that do DNSLookups with my network network dnscache acting as a root server
for them. DNS traffic to and from my network has significantly dropped,
along with request to my network caches. Just have to flush them every once
in a while when I'm working on DNS.

Admittedly it took a little while for me to get used to djbdns, but with
djbdns + VegaDNS(http://www.vegadns.org/) by Bill Shupp I spend very little
time on DNS related requests/problems. The changeover from bind only took me
3 days, and everything has been up and running without trouble since. I've
even been able to offload dns management for my colo clients through
VegaDNS.
